Millie at Red Butte Gardens

Millie trying on sunglasses

This is kind of funny. I didn't edit it so feel free to stop when your bored. If you can't tell, she's looking at herself as she's trying them on.

Millie Picture update

It's A Girl!!

So I guess I forgot to post it here. But we are having a girl!! We are totally open to names if you want to leave a comment for us.

More park

With smiles like these, it's hard to not go to the park when you can.

Sorry for the 3 posts in 1 days, but I wanted to put some pics up too

So clearly it get harder to photograph kids the older they get. Also it feels like I should do video more because of how funny she is. So I've been doing more of that. And I really don't post them that often b/c I think they would be boring to everybody but me and Alisa.

But trying not to suck at being a photographer dad, we went to Trolley Square today and I snapped a few pics of Millie. She runs not stop so it is challenging. I should have taken a fester lens I guess. There's always next time.

At 18 months Millie is talking a TON. She says and knows so many words that I don't think I could even count them. She is always making jokes, loves wrestling, scarring people/being scarred, reading, sleeping and long walks on the beach.

The one moment she stood still

A proud dad moment

Yeah...... my kid climbs:

Weeee!

I've spent the past few days with Millie, trying to make up for the 8 I was out of town. We've had some fun.
I don't like sitting around so we went to the climbing gym to run around and then after being beat up by the other kids at Chick fil A we went to Liberty Park (yesterday) and Fremont Park (today).

We had a blast!

This video is super repetitive, but I like it.

Weeee!! Millie on slide from Casey Hyer on Vimeo.

The News

It's true. I know that many of you know because I haven't kept it a secret very well, but Alisa has and we just need to make it official because people are finding out in weird ways at this point. 

Due date is mid June!

That might be why we have had less photos on this blog. Millie is a little hard to photograph by myself at her current state.

Millie is wild, full of life and surprises. We love her.

8th Anniversary

Another year gone by and another anniversary celebration!  Our anniversary tradition is to take the long treacherous journey all the way to Vegas in search of adventure.  Vegas is just as romantic as Paris, in case you didn't know.  Okay that's not true at all but there's not a whole lot of options if you're on a budget and it's winter.  Anyway, we had a fun long weekend of relaxing, watching movies, walking around, and eating really yummy food.  Casey had his adventurous craving satisfied by mountain biking and climbing.  My cravings were satisfied by eating at all my favorite places and munching on treats from Trader Joe's in between.

**Sorry for the iphone photos (ghetto).  We didn't take a whole lot of pictures.

Bellagio

We hit up the buffet for the all you can eat crab.

 Max Brenner's is never a disappointment.  

 Serendipity (Over-rated frozen hot chocolate.  Just got to Max Brenner's)

Yep, all we got were food shots.  weird.  

It was great to hang out with my best friend for 4 days straight.  Casey is so much fun and is such an amazing person.  I love you Casey, Happy 8th Anniversary!

Merry Christmas Everybody

Sorry about not posting for a little while. We have been pretty busy and I have not been pulling photos/videos to load. Plus I'm not sure how I want to upload videos. Do I edit them first, with transitions and effects like my photos? I want to but it just takes longer for me right now.

We are having a wonderful Christmas break. Millie loved opening presents and is still loving playing with all of her toys. I expected her to just play with the boxes and wrapping paper, so that was good.

I have some time off so we have just all been hanging out around home and playing. Millie has been pretty adorable most of the time.

This is huge! Her friends Backpack and Map have arrived.

Spoiled

This is a photo my mom just sent me of Millie. Looks like someone has been watching their grandma's behaviors all weekend. The can was closed, but it didn't matter, it was still refreshing. She even made the noise ahhhh after every fake swing. That's my girl!!
